Leaking Rack and Pinion

[Ramones]

Naaayos pa po ba ito? Wala daw kasi repair kit ang 2005 Nissan Sentra GX 1.3 A/T kundi buong assembly ang bibilhin (as per casa). Mahirap kasi kabigin steering wheel makunat dahil laging tuyo yung reservoir, nade-drain dahil sa leak sa rack and pinion.

Kung di kaya sa ayos, san po may available na surplus nito? At ok lang ba gamitin 'tong oto kahit leaking yung rack and pinion o may madadamay na madamage pag hinayaan ko lang? Sabi kasi ng casa wag ko lang daw hayaan ma-drain talaga pero nagde-drain talaga, as in pinuno ko ngayon umaga wala pang 24 hours drain na uli. help!

There is always a repair kit for it.

Just remember. The "casa" never repairs. "Casa" always replace entire assemblies. That is how they make more money than simply fixing the actual problem. A P1,200 repair job suddenly becomes a P25,000 assembly replacement job at the casa.

You will have to go to a car service shop to have it done. SPEEDYFIX or SPEEDLAB can handle that problem. (you can google their website for contact number and address).

Also most gasoline service stations can also service that problem but you have to check if they have a repair kit available in stock for your car.

^Thanks sa suggestion sir. I'll try to have it repaired sa labas muna kung kaya pa. Sabi kasi nung SA sa modelo daw ng oto ko buong assembly daw ang nire-release ng casa yung models ng sentra na nauna yun daw ang may repair kit.

kung leak lang talaga and walang tama yung rack and pinon, oil seal lang yan sir. it would not cost more than 2k with labor. well it depends on what shop you bring it in. try pasay kung simpling oil seal lang. mura pyesa dun.

^Try ko maghanap ng parts sir. Nag-woworry lang ako based sa sinabi ng casa na walang repair kit ang rack and pinion nitong oto ko kundi buong assembly.

Thanks!

pano ba malalaman kung oil seal lang ang kelangan or repair kit na talaga? malaki kasi pinagkaiba ng presyo. yung repair kit e 3.5k plus labor 3.5k din.
yung sa kin nagkaron ng leak yung rack ang pinion after a month or two nung pinapalitan ko ng fluid as part of preventive maintenance. di naman malakas na leak, it goes from high to low level in a span of 7-8 weeks.

Pwede na ba yung replacement part Rack and Pinion sa Banawe worth P13k mga bosing? Natulo kasi yung steering fluid ko at base sa assessment ng casa kailangan palitan buong assembly eh ang mahal nung part sa kanila nasa 39k.

Meron daw repair kit pero masisira lang din kung yung loob mismo ng rack and pinion ang may tama. May kilala kayo nagooverhaul ng part na to? Gusto ko kasi ipaayos muna sana kung kaya pa.

May nakausap ako sa SpeedyFix di daw sila nagooverhaul ng Rack and Pinion.

Nagagamit ko na oto ko pero makunat ang steering. Please help!
